What if prophecy isn't about predicting the future, but about revealing how heaven already sees us? In this teaching, we discover that edification, exhortation, and comfort form the heartbeat of all prophetic speech—designed to build us up, stir us up, and cheer us up. The Spirit moves like a wind, creating momentum toward who we're becoming.Key Scriptures:+ 1 Corinthians 14:3. "But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification, exhortation, and comfort."+ Jeremiah 29:11. "I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord..."+ John 15:11. "These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and your joy may be made full."**Want to explore more?**

On this episode, Paul White continues to talk about the reprobate mind. Accompanying scripture: 2 Corinthians 13:5-6. 

The Lord who "thus far" has helped you Will help you all your journey through. "When the words 'thus far' are read in heaven's light, what glorious and miraculous prospects they reveal to our grateful eyes!" —C.H. Spurgeon "Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen and called its name Ebenezer; for he said, 'Till now the Lord has helped us.'” (1 Sam. 7:12, ESV) "Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hath the Lord helped us." (1 Sam. 7:12, KJV) What is your "Thus Far"…this past year?

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (01/08/26), Hank addresses criticisms of Noah's flood being comical.Hank also answers the following questions:When a Christian struggles with fear, is going to a counselor for help permissible?

Today's Promise: 2 Corinthians 5:17 What really changed when you came to Christ? More than you may realize. In this powerful episode, we explore the incredible transformation that occurs the moment you are saved.  No matter what you did in your past. What you thought, or how far you felt from God, everything changes in Christ. The old life marked by guilt, rebellion, and self-centered living is gone, and a brand-new life has begun. Scripture tells us that in Christ, we are made new. Our old desires have lost their grip, and a new hunger to please God is born within us. This isn't self-improvement or behavior modification; it's resurrection life. Christ now lives in you, empowering you to walk in freedom, purpose, and victory. You are no longer defined or bound by your past.  Join us as we unpack what it truly means to live as a new creation and step fully into the life God has given you.

Episode SummaryIn this sermon preached at New Life Church Greenbrier (Dec. 28, 2025), Coach Alex flips a familiar verse on its head: the gates of hell aren't attacking the Church—they're defending. Jesus' promise isn't that we'll merely “hold on” until the end; it's that the Church advances and hell can't stop it.Coach Alex makes it practical: if you've spent a year waking up on defense—tired, in pain, stuck, reactive—there's a reason.The enemy targets the individual body, then the family, then the community. But when your “want to,” your “able to,” your relationships, coaching, rewards, and environment align toward God, you stop fighting alone.Call to action: -Join Faithful Fitness (and check out the Shred): https://betterdaily.live/invite -Get Coach Alex's Devotional (Faithful Fitness): https://faithfulfitnessdevo.comMain Discussion ThemesMatthew 16 reframed: “The gates of hell” are defensive structures—the Church advances.Offense vs. defense Christianity: why many believers feel stuck, reactive, and worn down.The battlefield order: body → family → community.Three circles model: how darkness spreads when the light isn't protected and multiplied.The 6 forces tug-of-war: why people fail—and how to win by changing the system around you.Personal: Want to, Able toSocial: Fans & Friends, CoachStructural: Rewards, EnvironmentScripture anchors for embodied stewardship:1 Corinthians 6:19–20Psalm 139:14Ephesians 5:29Timestamped Outline0:00–0:23 — Intro + welcome0:23–2:41 — Family-service tone + participation + rope setup2:41–4:53 — Poll questions → the body question exposes the real issue4:53–8:59 — Matthew 16:15–18 setup + “gates of hell” promise8:59–11:33 — Milk vs meat in Scripture; “underline this phrase” moment11:33–15:27 — Offense vs defense demo (shield vs sword)15:27–18:28 — Greek insight: “katyskohol” → hell can't defend against the Church18:28–21:41 — Candlelight picture: light pushes back darkness21:41–24:20 — The three circles: community → family → body (enemy's strategy)24:20–27:25 — Scripture truths about the body + Faithful Fitness devotional mention27:25–30:37 — Tug-of-war demo: why it feels impossible alone30:37–42:16 — The 6 forces explained (personal/social/structural)42:16–44:40 — System shift: align forces toward God → obedience becomes sustainable44:40–end — Final charge + prayer + response invitationMove Forward Today (Calls to Action)Join Faithful Fitness + the Shred (community + coaching + practical structure):https://betterdaily.live/inviteGet the Faithful Fitness Devotional (40-day Scripture-guided discipleship for embodied stewardship):https://faithfulfitnessdevo.comOne action in 5 minutes: Write down which force is currently pulling against you:Want toAble toFans & FriendsCoachRewardsEnvironmentThen write one concrete counter-move (ex: remove trigger foods, ask spouse for support, choose enjoyable training, schedule accountability).Featured Guest ResourcesCoach Alex's ResourcesJoin Faithful Fitness (and check out the Shred): https://betterdaily.live/inviteGet the Faithful Fitness Devotional: https://faithfulfitnessdevo.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faithful-fitness-by-better-daily--5150768/support.

In this episode, Pastor Matt, Pastor Gene, and Pastor Cindy share compelling prophetic insights and direction for the year 2026. Pastor Matt emphasizes the significance of 'warring from a place of rest,' encouraging us to find strength and victory through resting in God. He underscores the importance of the secret place, referencing Hebrews 4 and Ecclesiastes 3, and shares personal revelations of divine protection and guidance. This intimate time with God over the next 40 days is poised to awaken new deposits of wisdom and identity, as believers learn to rest and receive from Him.   Pastor Cindy and Pastor Gene further expound on the themes of restoration and growth, noting the importance of seeking the Lord while He may be found. They discuss profound visions and revelations, including unprecedented growth in the body of Christ, refining purposes, and hearing the language of heaven. They call us to a deeper pursuit of God, promising transformation and the manifestation of divine glory.    Scripture references: Revelation 21:5, Matthew 6:5–6, John 17:22, 2 Corinthians 3:8, 16–18, Isaiah 60:1, Joshua 1:8–9, 1 John 4:4, Joshua 9:14–15, Habakkuk 2:2–3     Order your copy of Cindy's new book, NEW MOVES OF GOD Check out Cindy's TV show, CINDY STEWART LIVE.

In this powerful sermon, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams delivers a timely reminder that the battles we face in life are not merely physical or emotional; they are spiritual. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 10:4, he teaches that the weapons God has given us are not carnal, but divinely empowered to pull down strongholds and sustain us through life's fiercest challenges. Archbishop Duncan-Williams urges believers to rely daily on God's spiritual arsenal: the Word of God, the Name of Jesus, the Blood of the Lamb, and the language of the Spirit. These are not symbolic tools, but living, active weapons that release authority, protection, and victory when exercised in faith. Using Matthew 4 as a model, he explains how Jesus Himself defeated Satan—not by argument or emotion, but by refusing the enemy's lies and responding with Scripture. In the same way, believers are called to stand firm, resist deception, and enforce God's truth in every season. The message concludes with a profound call to cultivate gratitude as a spiritual weapon. Rooted in Ephesians 6:17, Archbishop teaches that thanksgiving strengthens our faith, steadies our hearts, and keeps us positioned for victory even in adversity.

You're listening to Right On Radio. Live right in the real world. And welcome, everyone, to the Wednesday edition Podbean Live. Glad you could be here for those of you who are here live. Welcome to those of you who are listening to the replay of the show. Jeff opens with the Word on Word segment, comparing Ephesians 1:2 and 1 Corinthians 10:31 and reflecting on the high calling to walk in love and glorify God in everyday life. Guest John Brisson (We've Read the Documents) joins Jeff to unpack a wide-ranging show: a featured clip from Greg Reese about Promethean ideas and Robert Anton Wilson's Eight-Circuit Model of Consciousness leads to a deeper theological critique. They examine Promethean Action (Helga Zepp-LaRouche) and the modern “false great awakening,” discussing Discordianism, Luciferian/Promethean myth-making, transhumanism, and how research and historical reporting can be useful yet spiritually misleading. The conversation moves into geopolitics: an exchange about Greenland, NATO bases and leverage, the possibility of U.S. strategic moves (leases, purchases or greater control), and what that could mean for global alliances. Jeff and John discuss recent developments around Venezuela — the Maduro operation, legal fallout, and tactical implications — and how these events feed narratives about a realignment of power between the Americas, Russia, and China. Domestic politics and media are also front and center. They react to Dan Bongino's return to radio and its PR framing, the role of influencers and platform investments (Rumble, Parler), and the fractures within MAGA: rival camps, personalities, and the risk of celebrity-led movements drifting from sound doctrine. Jeff warns about the rise of Christian nationalism, Seven Mountains Dominionism, and the merging of reformed/Catholic voices with hardline political actors. Other topics touched on: Tucker Carlson's interview dynamics (and Mike Cernovich's positioning), concerns about good vs. ‘false' imperialism, the amplification of confirmation bias (including AI's role), and seismic or volcanic worries in the Pacific Northwest as part of broader anxiety about the year ahead. The episode closes with pastoral exhortation — a reminder to love God first, love neighbors sacrificially, and a reminder about a prayer call on Telegram — plus teasers for upcoming streams and guests. Expect a candid mix of Bible reflection, media and ideological critique, geopolitical analysis, and practical spiritual counsel — a show for listeners who want both cultural reporting and a gospel-centered response to the confusion of our times.

Today is day 7 and we are continuing the section on Salvation with question 7. 7. Why does God save you? Because he loves me, God saves me from sin and judgment, so that I may love and serve him for his glory. (Psalm 98; Isaiah 42:5–9; John 3:17; Romans 5:8–10; 2 Corinthians 5:18–21; Ephesians 1:3–14) Our prayer today is the Collect from the Second Sunday of Christmas found on page 601 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Pastor Jon invites us to step into 2026 with a clear conviction: the gospel doesn't just inform us—it transforms us. From 2 Corinthians 3, we declare this the Year of Transformation, choosing surrender over self-improvement. Tanner Petty then leads us in a powerful time of guided prayer as we turn to the Lord, come unveiled, and live with an expectation of real change in the presence of Jesus.

1 Corinthians 5:9-10Loving the world means getting caught up in the attitudes and values that characterize our world...things that can lead to addictions and destroy you spiritually, physically, and emotionally. But that doesn't mean you're supposed to live in isolation and live a plain, drab life.

Have you ever tried sharing something you learned in the Bible with your husband and he just looks at you like you're speaking another language? Girl, I get it. You're on fire for Jesus, you see how spiritual everything is, and you just want him on the same page—but the resentment starts building when he's just not there yet. In this episode, I'm sharing some real encouragement for when you're feeling frustrated that your husband doesn't "get it" spiritually. I'll help you see what might actually be happening and give you practical steps to release that resentment and support his journey. I'm breaking down scriptures like 2 Corinthians 4:4 and Acts 9:18 that show how scales can blind us spiritually. This biblical encouragement changes everything about how we approach our marriage. Three Things You Can Do Today: Pray specific prayers for his eyes to be opened (I give you the exact scriptures) Encourage him when he does share about faith—even if you'd say it differently Figure out healthy boundaries in your marriage—what's yours to control and what's between him and God I share how my own husband told me "you're at level 25 and I'm at level one" and what I learned about giving him space to grow. Plus, I'm declaring biblical encouragement over you from Galatians 6:9—you will see that harvest, mama!

Episode 113: Rich Villodas on Finding the Spacious LifeNeed a bit of soul rest today? I'm offering you an hour that feels both like a deep breath AND a challenge to live differently. Rich Villodas is one of the few people who can pull off this refreshing combination, and we are blessed to have him on The GoodHard Story Podcast this week. He's been a source of inspiration and encouragement to me for many years now. In a world full of loud voices competing for the spotlight, Rich has remained a gentle, steady, and humble conduit of Jesus' wisdom and grace.During our conversation, Rich shared some vitally important “how to's” with me: how to examine your interior life, how to take your love for God out of its tidy compartment, how to be formed by Christ rather than your idea of Christ, and how to teach our kids to navigate complexity.Show NotesWhat we mentioned:The Narrow Path: How the Subversive Way of Jesus Satisfies Our Souls by Rich Villodas - https://a.co/d/dqVs2JWEpisode 85: My New Way of Understanding Beauty with Brook Hensley - https://podcasts.apple.com/nl/podcast/episode-85-my-new-way-of-understanding-beauty-with/id1496882479?i=1000689600342&l=en-GBThe Deeply Formed Life: Five Transformative Values to Root Us in the Way of Jesus by Rich Villodas - https://a.co/d/84WTasBScriptures we referenced:The Sermon on the Mount: Matthew 5 - 72 Corinthians 12:9Galatians 4:19 Romans 8:29Where to find Rich Villodas:@richvillodas on X@richvillodas on Instagramhttps://www.richvillodas.com/About Hope Heals:For more messages of hope, free resources, and opportunities to connect with me: https://hopeheals.com/Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hopeheals/⁠Subscribe to The GoodHard Story Podcast!Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-hard-story-podcast/id1496882479Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/0OYz6G9Q2tNNVOX9YSdmFb?si=043bd6b10a664bebWant a little hope in your inbox? ⁠⁠Sign up for the Hope Note⁠⁠, a monthly digest of only the good stuff, like reflections from me and a curated roundup of the Internet's most redemptive content: http://eepurl.com/gGUnlfGet to know us:⁠⁠Hope Heals⁠⁠: https://hopeheals.com/spaces⁠⁠Hope Heals Camp⁠⁠: https://hopeheals.com/camp⁠⁠Mend Coffee⁠⁠: https://www.mendcoffee.com/Instagram⁠: https://www.instagram.com/hopeheals/

In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, Zack and Becky Mariscal return to the Deep Spirituality Podcast to discuss the "spiritual mechanics" of resilience. Their story reveals how internal strength is forged through profound suffering, moving from a place of human fragility to firm faith.This episode will help you shift your perspective on current troubles—not by ignoring them, but by learning how to fix your gaze on the unseen. Whether you are facing a health crisis or navigating the "ups and downs" of life, you will walk away with a meaning-making framework for resilience and the inspiration to turn toward God instead of shutting down.► SUBSCRIBE: ⁠https://youtube.com/deepspirituality/?sub_confirmation=1⁠Scriptures:2 Corinthians 12:8-9 NIVEcclesiastes 9:11 NIV2 Corinthians 4:7-9 NLT2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NLTRomans 15:4 NASBPsalm 46:1-3 NASB95Psalm 77:19 NLTChapters:00:00 - Optimistic resilience 01:56 - How does your knowledge of God increase your resilience?08:16 - How breaking up made us stronger.21:44 - What young men can do.26:09 - How do you stay joyful in suffering?32:30 - Ad: Kingdom of Prayer33:24 - Take initiative in relationships40:05 - How what we go through can help others50:51 - Wrap up

Hey CBJ Family! "If we don't intentionally invest in our health today, we will unitentionally pay for it later." This statement hit home for us years ago, and in this episode, we are diving into all the ways faith and prayer can get you healthy and fit especially in this new year.  Health is not about vanity, it's about stewardship. When we invite God into how we train, eat, and rest, everything changes. The new year doesn't require pressure or perfection, it invites intention.    1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says "do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit...therefore honor God with your bodies." This verse reminds us to treat our bodoes like a place where God dwells-not something to neglect or abuse.   When we are stressed and feeling chaotic, we tend to make unhealthy choices or experience emotional eating.  When we are living in a peaceful state, we make better and healhtier decisions, which impacts our lives in positive ways.  Today, ask God to help you show up for yourself, in your food choices, and to give you the strength to make better decisions about your health overall.  Pause before you eat, pray, and be gentle with yourself through the process.   A prayer we encourage you to say daily is, "Lord, I'm showing up, meet me here. Thank you for the body You've entrusted to me. Today I choose stewardship over pressure. Guide how I move, how I eat, and how I rest. Give me wisdom for small choices and grace when prgress feels slow. Strengthen me, not for vanity, but for purpose. Help me show up healthy, present, and available for what You've called me to do.  In Jesus' Name, Amen." We pray that this episode encourages you to get into momentum, and stay in momentum, as you start a new year while creating new healthy habits that stick.  Remember, routine will keep you going when you want to quit.  Start a new one and stick to it!

This episode challenges the obsession with image, influence, and numbers by asking a deeper question: Why are you doing what you're doing? This episode confronts ego-driven branding and recenters creators, leaders, and everyday believers on obedience, humility, and advancing God's kingdom over personal platforms. If you've ever chased likes, validation, or recognition—this conversation might reframe everything.Mark 9:38–401 Corinthians 10:11,12Proverbs 3:5,6Colossians 3:23,24Psalm 139:23,4Proverbs 16:9Mark 6:34John 13:12–17Matthew 6:33TikTok: @CLWhiteside Instagram: @Championlife23  

“If anyone is ashamed of me and my message in these adulterous and sinful days, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” (Mark 8:38 NLT) Today’s social media encourages people to stand up and be counted—to unapologetically announce and promote an agenda that they want to be associated with. Exactly what it is they stand for seems to be of secondary importance. I’m often amazed at the perverse, even horrendous, things people are willing to promote and defend. In contrast, many Christians seem to be embarrassed by the biblical truths that make them Christian. The followers of Christ have been entrusted with a life-changing—and world-changing—message. Yet many are ashamed by the gospel. They’re reluctant to share the words Jesus wants them to say. But the time has come for believers to speak boldly, regardless of the consequences. To stand up and be counted as Christ’s disciples—for the world’s sake and for their own. Jesus said, “If anyone is ashamed of me and my message in these adulterous and sinful days, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in the glory of his Father with the holy angels” (Mark 8:38 NLT). In the first century AD, the idea of Jesus dying on the cross was scandalous to Jewish people. The Greeks, who prided themselves on their cultural and intellectual attainments, thought the story of Jesus’ crucifixion was ridiculous. Yet the apostle Paul wrote, “So when we preach that Christ was crucified, the Jews are offended and the Gentiles say it’s all nonsense. But to those called by God to salvation, both Jews and Gentiles, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God” (1 Corinthians 1:23–24 NLT). In today’s culture, many Christians struggle with Jesus’ words in John 14:6: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me” (NLT). The idea of Jesus being the only path to God bothers them. More to the point, the idea of telling others that Jesus is the only way to the Father—and the means for eternal life—bothers them. It’s safer to be inclusive and affirm the truth of all beliefs. But Jesus doesn’t give His followers that option. Are you ashamed of the simple message of the gospel? I hope not, because God’s righteousness is revealed in it. And that’s important. We all have our own sense of righteousness—our own opinions about right and wrong. But God’s righteousness is different from ours. It’s perfect. And it’s impossible to fulfill His righteousness apart from Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. So, it’s through the gospel, the Good News of Jesus, that the righteousness of God is revealed. Jesus’ followers have been entrusted with that Good News. And no amount of discomfort or embarrassment should keep us from sharing it.

Episode 268 – When Healing Has Not ComeWhat happens when we pray fervently for healing and it doesn't come? This deeply personal exploration takes us into one of Christianity's most challenging questions—not to shake our faith, but to strengthen it with biblical truth. We journey through passages like James 5, where we're instructed to call for elders, pray in faith, and anoint with oil, yet we also encounter the puzzling reality that even the Apostle Paul left co-workers like Trophimus sick and advised Timothy to use medicinal wine for his stomach ailments. The tension is real: we believe wholeheartedly in the gifts of healings mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12, we've seen miraculous breakthroughs, yet we've also watched loved ones suffer despite our prayers. Rather than offering easy answers or blaming either God or our lack of faith, this message invites us into a mature understanding—that progressive healing is still healing, that God sometimes uses medicine alongside miracles, and that our suffering can produce an eternal weight of glory that far outweighs our temporary troubles. Like Job, we're called to trust God even when we can't find Him in our circumstances, declaring 'though He slay me, I will trust Him.' This isn't about giving up on healing; it's about refusing to put God on trial while we continue to press in with obedient faith.

1 Corinthians 10:1-4 Mark 1:9-11

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com      Paul says, “We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen… what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (2 Cor. 4:18)   “We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen… what is seen is temporary,   Temporary - pros-kee-ross  Fleeting, non important for the task, WHEN I WAS 22 YEARS OLD SHOPPING FOR A CAR. MARRIED 3 YEARS, BUT NEVER BOUGHT MY OWN CAR. … I was looking at sound systems … I was looking at paint color … I was looking at rims and stance MY DAD WAS LOOKING AT … mileage … monthly payment … accident history … gas economy … the dealers reputation…. I WAS LOOKING AT THE FLEETING.      If eternity is real—and the Bible says it is—then living only for the moment- THE FLEETING is the most dangerous way to live.     1  Eternity Is More Real  Than the Moment   **Scripture:** 2 Corinthians 4:18   Paul doesn't say the visible world isn't real—he says it's **temporary**. Temporary doesn't mean unimportant. It means *not ultimate*… NOT THE PURPOSE   Going on a cruise in 2 weeks… my wife “what are you going to pack”. My wife packs for a month if we stay 3 days in a hotel…   Illustration: The Hotel Room   You treat a hotel room differently than your house. You don't remodel it.

Because you know **you're not staying long**.   Many of us are rearranging furniture in a world we were never meant to settle in.

A Prayer When We Need to Comfort our Kids by Danika Cooley Parenting can sometimes feel like a three-ring circus—chaotic, loud, unpredictable, and overwhelming. In this episode, we reflect on the deep emotional challenge of watching our children suffer and the uncertainty that comes with wanting to respond “the right way.”In today's episode by Danika Cooley, we are reminded that God does not stand at a distance from our pain or our children’s pain. He is the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, meeting us in our hardest moments and loving us through every affliction. Reference: 2 Corinthians 1: 3-4 Prayer: Lord, you are a God of mercy and comfort. Throughout our lives, you have comforted us when we suffered. Thank you for the afflictions you have brought us through. We praise you that because you cared for us during our trials, we can now comfort our kids.

In this powerful message, “Only One Way to Win,” Josh Craft teaches that winning in life requires discipline, endurance, and daily self-control—not talent or motivation alone Drawing from 1 Corinthians 9, Pastor Josh explains how athletes in the ancient world trained relentlessly long before race day ever arrived. In the same way, our spiritual, emotional, and relational victories are determined by what we practice daily.

**How to Pray for Financial Breakthrough (Without Begging or Being Greedy)** Struggling financially and don't know how to pray about it? Most believers approach God wrong when they need a financial breakthrough. They beg. They plead. They feel guilty for even asking. In this episode, I'm showing you the biblical way to pray for financial breakthrough that actually works. No whining. No manipulation. No prosperity gospel gimmicks. Here's what you'll learn: → The one thing to ask God for that unlocks everything else (James 1:5) → Why God wants to give you wealth and what He expects in return (Deuteronomy 8:17-18) → What to seek FIRST so everything else gets added to you (Matthew 6:33) → How your closeness to God directly impacts your financial fruitfulness (John 15:5-15) → The promptings you've been ignoring that might be your breakthrough → Why your breakthrough probably isn't a miracle... it's instructions you need to follow If you've been praying for a financial breakthrough and nothing's changing, this episode will shift your whole approach. Your breakthrough comes from your life union with Him as your source. Not from begging harder. **Scriptures Referenced:** James 1:5-8 | Deuteronomy 8:17-18 | Matthew 6:24-33 | John 15:5-15 | James 4:8 | Philippians 4:17 | 1 Corinthians 15:57-58 **Resources:** → Join The Increase Academy: https://www.skool.com/increaseacademy

Biblical prophecy is framed as Spirit-inspired speech that builds up, guides, and comforts God's people, always anchored in Scripture (1 Corinthians 14). It clarifies identity, calls for faithful obedience, and offers God's gentle reassurance, strengthening faith over time through attentive, discerning prayer. Drawing from Acts 27, the church is reminded that storms and loss do not cancel God's promises but often become the very means by which He fulfills them. Looking toward 2026, a shared call begins to take shape—one of restoration and preparation marked by simplicity, surrender, and trust, where “less is more” and a slower, deeper obedience yields lasting spiritual fruit.

Start your year with powerful insight into how God uses pressure to refine your faith! In this first message of our new series "Integrated," Pastor Stephen unpacks James 1:1-18 to reveal why trials aren't meant to break us—they're meant to complete us. Discover the difference between testing and temptation, learn why God allows difficulties in your life, and find out how endurance develops through patient faith. This message will challenge you to close the gap between what you believe and how you live. Key Takeaways: Pressure reveals your integrity—it doesn't break it God tests you to strengthen you; sin tempts you to destroy you A faith that can't be tested can't be trusted God uses trials to refine you, not punish you Patient endurance leads to wisdom, wholeness, and the crown of life The question isn't IF you'll face pressure, but WHAT it will reveal about you Scripture References: James 1:1-18 | Jeremiah 29:11-13 | 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 About This Series: Join us for "Integrated"—a 7-week journey through the book of James that will help close the gap between what we say we believe and how we actually live.

The Mission of the Church: Making Disciples and Understanding Scripture. This episode delves into the true mission of the Church, emphasizing the importance of making disciples as commanded by Jesus and not merely getting people saved. The discussion covers the power and authenticity of the Bible, exploring how it was inspired by God and written through men moved by the Holy Spirit. Key aspects such as contextual understanding, proper scripture interpretation, conversion, and dispelling common modern Christianity errors are highlighted. With a foundation rooted in both the Old and New Testaments, the script provides insights into living a holy, disciplined life aligned with God's Word. The episode concludes by addressing the nature of true love as described in 1 Corinthians 13, urging viewers to walk in the ancient paths of righteousness.

2 Corinthians 7:8-10 New Living Translation   8 I am not sorry that I sent that severe letter to you, though I was sorry at first, for I know it was painful to you for a little while. 9 Now I am glad I sent it, not because it hurt you, but because the pain caused you to repent and change your ways. It was the kind of sorrow God wants his people to have, so you were not harmed by us in any way. 10 For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There's no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.

This sermon explores the foundational nature of the church as revealed in Matthew 16:13-20, where Peter confesses Jesus as "the Christ, the Son of the living God." The message emphasizes that the church is built upon this confession of faith in Jesus as both fully God and fully man, the only Savior who can reconcile sinful humanity to a holy God. Pastor Joe Fant stresses that salvation comes through faith alone in Christ alone, not through human works or righteousness. The sermon challenges believers to understand their vital role in building God's church through witnessing, serving, and prayer, while maintaining confidence that no force of darkness can ultimately prevail against the gospel's advance. The message calls for practical commitment in 2026 to share the gospel, serve in the local church body, and devote oneself to prayer, recognizing that God uses Spirit-empowered human effort to accomplish His eternal purposes. Key Points: Jesus deliberately chose Caesarea Philippi, a pagan Roman city with false worship, to declare His authority and announce His church The world remains confused about Jesus' identity, but true believers confess Him as the Christ, the Son of the living God This confession is the foundation upon which Christ builds His church, and it comes only through divine revelation, not human reasoning The gospel is simple: God requires perfection, we are sinful, and only Jesus—fully God and fully man—could live perfectly, die for our sins, and offer His righteousness in exchange The gates of hell cannot prevail against the church; the gospel is an unstoppable offensive force, not merely a defensive position God builds His church through the Spirit-empowered efforts of believers who witness, serve, and pray Every church member has a responsibility to share the gospel, serve in the body, and commit to prayer The challenge for 2026: commit to sharing the gospel with two specific people in your sphere of influence Scripture Reference: Matthew 16:13-20 (primary passage) Supporting references: Genesis 3, Isaiah 53, Deuteronomy 5, Joshua 3, Daniel, John 1:1, John 3, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9, 1 Corinthians 12-13, Matthew 5-7, Matthew 18, Acts 2, 3, and 10, Colossians 4, Matthew 9, Luke 11, James 5:13

Rev. James Harper kicks off a new sermons series through the book of 2 Corinthians: "The Cross Shaped Life."   Paul's letter to the Corinthians reveals powerful truths about finding hope during life's darkest moments. Writing from his own experience of despair in Asia Minor, Paul offers three key insights: suffering is inevitable in a broken world, God promises comfort to those who seek Him, and our pain can become a source of healing for others. Rather than promising an escape from hardship, Christianity offers something unique - a God who enters into our suffering through Christ. Paul encourages believers to find comfort through prayer and Scripture, particularly the Psalms, and to use their experiences of adversity to minister to others facing similar struggles.

In the opening message of our new series Upside Down Glory, Pastor Bob Erbig walks through 1 Corinthians 1:26–31 to confront one of the deepest assumptions of our culture: that strength is the goal and weakness is the problem. Launching in the season of New Year's resolutions, this sermon exposes how easily we measure worth by wisdom, power, productivity, and self-sufficiency—while Scripture reveals a radically different story. Paul reminds the church that God intentionally chooses what the world calls weak, low, and overlooked to display His power and grace, leaving no room for boasting except in Christ alone. Through biblical teaching, pastoral reflection, and personal testimony, this message reframes disability, limitation, and vulnerability—not as obstacles to God's work, but as places where His glory is most clearly seen, calling the church to honor the image of God in every person and to live fully into the upside-down values of the Kingdom.Our limitations are not barriers to God's glory—they are the very stage on which His power is revealed.January 4th, 2026

To the amazement of the Corinthians, the Apostle Paul boasted in chapter 11 of all his various sufferings and hardships. He boasted of all the painful persecution that he had endured in his physical and emotional natural man, not so he would be thought of as strong, or crazy, but so he could actually boast about the power and strength of God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ through the indwelling Holy Spirit. His boast was always in His God and never in his flesh.  And so, he continues with this same theme of boasting in the Lord in chapter 12.

Here's what I am learning: It's easier to avoid temptation than it is to fight sin. If possible, we should avoid being in places where we know we will be tempted. But sometimes, temptation seems to come out of nowhere. What do we do? Main Points:1. We must deal with the temptation immediately. Don't wait. Don't linger. Don't think about it. Don't entertain the possibility. The longer you wait, the weaker you become.2. This means that we take immediate action against those thoughts which would lead us away from God's will for our lives. We cannot give place to thoughts of temptation. Let me say it again. The longer you wait, the weaker you become. We must become fierce in the battle against temptation. 3. Maybe as you listen to this episode, you acknowledge you've done a poor job in the battle against temptation. I get it. I've been there too. So, where can we find strength? We find strength in three things: God's Word, God's presence, and in community with other believers. Today's Scripture Verses:2 Corinthians 10:5 - “…take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”2 Peter 1:3 - “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him…”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

“For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45 NLT) Can you think of a movie that was ruined by its ending? Maybe the final scenes were too heartbreaking. Or too happy. Or too unbelievable. Or too predictable. Or too confusing. Or too abrupt. When I was young, I had similar feelings about the story of Jesus. Ever since childhood, I’ve always had a great admiration for the historical person known as Jesus. I had seen all His movies. I thought very highly of Him. As a boy, I lived with my grandmother for a few years. I would thumb through her big family Bible and look at the illustrations of Jesus. She also had a picture of Jesus hanging on the wall. I would stare at it and think, “I wish I could have known that man, Jesus.” The one thing I didn’t like about the life of Jesus was how the story ended. I thought it should have been rewritten with a happier ending. The part about His being crucified wrecked everything for me. After all, He was on a great roll, healing people, teaching people, changing lives. But then it all suddenly came to an end. Why did they have to put Him on a cross and kill Him? It wasn’t until after I became a Christian that I realized that the crucifixion of Jesus was the specific reason He came to earth in the first place. What Jesus accomplished in thirty-three years is almost beyond comprehension. The apostle John ended his Gospel with these words: “Jesus also did many other things. If they were all written down, I suppose the whole world could not contain the books that would be written” (John 21:25 NLT). But make no mistake: Jesus came to die. He spoke of His death frequently and in great detail with His followers. His arrest and crucifixion didn’t take Him by surprise. Jesus summed it up well when He told His disciples, “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45 NLT). We must also remember that Jesus’ story doesn’t end with the crucifixion. He rose again on the third day. If Jesus hadn’t died, He wouldn’t have risen. If He hadn’t risen, there would be no reason for this devotion. Or for Harvest Christian Fellowship, for that matter. The apostle Paul wrote, “And if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is useless” (1 Corinthians 15:14 NLT). Jesus was born to die so that we might live. Have you accepted the gift of eternal life that Jesus purchased with His death? If not, you can accept that gift today. If you have, are you telling other people about it? As Paul wrote to the believers in Rome, “But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him?

My friend, Ed, thought he had the perfect hiding place, and he told me about it. Now, Ed's not really his name, but it is a true story. The incident happened this way. Some years ago when he was a teenager, and he came from a nice Christian family - nice Christian boy, except for some of his reading material. Now, it was before Internet days but there was a magazine called Playboy. He had a habit of going out and buying Playboy and some other magazines like it, and he hid them in an old, unused icebox where no one ever went. And he was sure no one knew the place. Well, when he went to get his dirty magazines one day, they were gone. But that's only part of it. In their place there was a Bible. He knew his dad had to leave it there. There was never any yelling, his dad never talked to him about it, but he bought no more magazines because of that little switch his dad had made. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "The Royal Switch." Our word for today from the Word of God comes from 2 Corinthians 10, and I'm going to begin reading at verse 3. "For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." Now, this talks about weapons that will tear down strongholds. And as you study this passage, it becomes obvious that spiritual strongholds are sinful ways of thinking that, well, maybe they've been part of our personality for a long time. Maybe they're wrong ways of thinking about the opposite sex, about depressing feelings in your life, or about a relationship with someone who's hurt you, maybe it's lust, or depression, or bitterness, or self-pity. But it's got a strong hold on us. And then it goes on to say, "We can take captive every one of those wrong thoughts to the obedience of Christ." Now, until you can master the source of sin, which is your wrong thoughts, that sin will master you. How do you do that? Well, Ephesians 6:17 talks about the spiritual weapon that will work. It says, "Take the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God." learn a lesson from a friend's wise father. Where there had been dirt in the form of those magazines, he put God's Word. He didn't just remove the dirty; he replaced it with a Bible. Now, if you want to beat sin...if you want to beat those wrong thoughts, then you've got to have two strategies working for you. First, take out the garbage - the garbage thoughts - and don't collect any more. That means turning your eyes away from the magazine rack. It means flipping the channel when something comes on that has no business going into your mental computer. It means not ever clicking again to go to those places on the Internet. It may mean, as it did for some of my friends, of putting a picture of Jesus on their computer, or another man who said, "I can't even afford to have a computer at home. I've got to beat the monster inside." It may mean avoiding negative conversations that fuel the dark side of you; canceling a subscription to a magazine, or a streaming service, or monitoring the music you listen to - whatever it takes to be free of the bondage. Secondly, you have to put the Bible where the dirt has been. You take a Bible bath daily. You dwell on what you read. You write it down in a journal so you remember it. You use it that day so it becomes part of your personality. There's no substitute for memorizing the Word of God. D. L. Moody said it so well, "Think sin - think scripture." I like what someone wrote in my Bible one time, "Either sin will keep you from this book, or this book will keep you from sin." Now you have a weapon that can tear down a stronghold of sin and tame the most sinful of thoughts. "Thy Word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against Thee." Put God's Word in the same hiding place where you've been hiding that sinful stuff. That is the royal switch.
